Effect of Conditions of Electric-Spark Dispersion of Zinc on the Quality of the Product Obtained

Properties of Silver Nanoparticles Prepared by the Electric Spark Dispersion Method

“…The new properties of the particles are connected not only with the particles' size, but with their structure, the conditions of the medium in which they are produced, and the method of production. One of the well-known methods of producing nanosized powders is dispersion by the electric spark [3][4][5][6]. The advantages of the method of electro-dispersion include: • simplicity of the equipment; • relatively low energy expense of production (1 to 3 kWh/kg of powder); • ability to produce large quantities of powder; • production of spherical particles of a size from 0.02 to 40 µm; • use of metal scrap as raw material; • controlled properties of the powders.…”
